Upney in 1915 in a fascinating series of reproductions of old Ordnance Survey plans in the Alan Godfrey Editions, ideal for anyone interested in the history of their neighbourhood or family. Three versions have been published for this area. The maps cover the eastern side of Barking but they are from different series, the ` Old` (map no. 74.09) & ` New` (maps no. 68.04) Essex Series, so the sheetlines are somewhat different. The ` New` Series maps link up more conveniently with the London Series. The Barking & Upney 1897 (No. 74.09) map is on different sheetlines than the other two versions, showing much the same area but stretching somewhat further west & south. This means that it does cover part of central Barking, including the station, Local Board Offices on East Street, Ripple Road, St Paul`s Road & southward to Morley Road. Along the southern part of the map are Greatfield, Mowers House, Eastbury House & the cemetery. The village of Upney is top centre. The map

Includes:: a commercial directory for Barking 1894.

From here coverage extends a mile eastward into open country. The hamlet of Upney is bottom centre, with its Isolation Hospital, Manor Farm is to the north-east. The LTS railway crosses the map west-east but no stations are shown. A directory listing of private residents in Barking in 1895 & 1920 is included. The Upney 1939 (No. 86.04b) map provides a strong contrast, for the area is now largely built up, with many roads now developed off Longbridge Road. Upney station is now open, & other features include Lodge Avenue & streets to its east, Sandringham Road, Barking Park, isolation hospital (no longer very isolated!) Extracts from a 1933 directory are included.
